Introducing Reims
Over the course of a millennium (816 to 1825), 34 sovereigns – among them 25 kings – began their reigns as Christian rulers in Reims’ famed cathedral. Meticulously reconstructed after WWI and WWII, the city – whose name is pronounced something like ‘rance’ and is often anglicised as Rheims – is neat and orderly, with wide avenues and well-tended parks. Together with Épernay, it is the most important centre of champagne production.
